This iPhone Is Sim-less

Tweet

Earlier today, we told you about a Reuters report that claimed that Apple's next iPhone, presumably called either iPhone 5 or iPhone, would boast a massive 4.6-inch display. And while we're extremely skeptical at this point, one designer took it upon himself to create a nice mockup of what a 4.6-inch iPhone might look like should it ever come into existence.

The mock up, done by ADR Studio's Antonio De Rosa, is pretty sleek, even for a big screened smartphone. (I don't care for them all that much.)

This iPhone is sim-less, meaning it doesn't feature a SIM card from any carrier. It also has 4G LTE speeds, two panel speakers that are housed on the device's aluminum unibody design. That aluminum aspect has been rumored in the past and it's something that I've wanted from a new iPhone for quite some time.

There is also a neat little LED indicator that flows around the device and we now see the home button baked into the actual software instead of sitting on the bezel of the smartphone.

Now, clearly, this is not going to be the next iPhone but it certainly has some things to like about it.

Speaking of the next iPhone, it has become clear that it will likely be a 4G LTE-enabled device and that it will more than likely be launching this fall rather than at this year's World Wide Developers Conference in June.

What's unclear is whether it will feature a similar or different design from the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4, both of which employed a combination of stainless steel and strengthened glass.

Apple Ceo Tim Cook Said Demand For The Device There Has Been Staggering

Tweet

Last week, we reported that, according to IDC, China was poised to oust the U.S. as the world's top smartphone market as early as this year. Today comes new data suggesting that the country is already outpacing the U.S. on another associated metric: Android and iOS device activations.

According to mobile analytics outfit Flurry, combined iOS and Android activations in China surpassed those in the U.S. some time in February. And by the end of March, the world's most populous country will account for 24 percent of activations to the U.S.'s 21 percent.

Hardly surprising. China is the world's most populous country, and it's the first with one billion mobile phone subscribers. But worth noting, as China is increasibly becoming a point of focus for companies like Apple.

Remarking on sales of the iPhone 4S in Greater China during a company earnings call earlier this year, Apple CEO Tim Cook said demand for the device there has been staggering. "We felt we were betting bold, as I think many of you would have thought if you would have known what we were doing," Cook said of the 4S rollout plan for the country. "But as it turns out, we didn't bet high enough."

New iPad Vs iPad 2 Speaker Volume Test

Tweet

One of the things I most eagerly wanted in the new iPad was a better speaker. I didn't expect it, mind, you, but when some early reviewers mentioned the new iPad had the loudest speaker they've ever heard on a tablet, my ears perked up and I became very excited. That's simply because Apple thus far hasn't been willing or able to put a decent speaker into any of their mobile devices. For the company that revolutionized music with the iPod and iTunes, that's mind boggling. Yet year after year I have a hard time hearing my games and movies out of the tiny, tinny iPad speaker, and find myself cupping the speaker with my hand and craning my ear down just to make out the dialog. Sure, I could put on headphones or use a Jawbone JAMBOX -- which admittedly the iPad handles really well -- but that should be an option, not a requirement.

Back to the new iPad. After hearing that the speaker may, mercifully, be louder, I tried listening to some music and playing some videos and I couldn't tell the difference. Both the new iPad and the iPad 2 sounded about the same to me. I turned off volume control and pushed the levels to the maximum on both and repeated the test. Still no difference.

My next step was to download an app to measure what, if any differences there might be. While not as scientific as a proper, soundproofed lab full of carefully calibrated equipment, it was enough for our real-world tests. The app I chose was Decibels [free - Download now]. I then placed my iPhone, armed with the Decibels app, a finger's width away from each iPad's speaker, and played a video.

The Decibels read out never reach 90. (Based on the car I was watching in the video, my inner geek really wants to say it never hit 88!).

To be absolutely sure, I asked Rene to repeat the same tests on his new iPad and iPad 2, and he recorded the exact same results. (So even if the app wasn't scientifically accurate, it still showed the same result for both.)

All this means that, in the end, the speaker for the new iPad isn't any louder than the speaker for the iPad 2, and to my ear there's not much, if any, difference to the sound it produces.

Given the love the camera and screen got this time, I'm now once again hoping the speaker gets it next.
